AS19515: the ORICOM-AS19515 network

AS19515 is an internet Autonomous System operated by ORICOM-AS19515 (Canada). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS19515?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS19515 was assigned to ORICOM-AS19515 by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS19515 currently announces 15 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 35.6 thousand addresses (35,584 in all), registered in Canada. Services from ORICOM-AS19515 are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS19515 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS19515. That means the other end sits on the ORICOM-AS19515 network (Canada). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
